Siblings’ Small Shared Space

Description

Since we only had one room to work with, I wanted neutral colors that would work for both 5 yrs old boy & a baby girl. I like bright colors, & to be honest I don't like traditional boy/girl colors that you see often. I wanted something bright & fun for both genders. And I wanted to stay away from too baby-ish looking room...

Design Inspiration

From the start I knew I wanted orange, turquoise, gray, & yellow colors in the room, so I was on the look out for fun items in those colors. Many visits to Project Nursery/Etsy & my own taste was my inspiration.

Decorating Style

I like unique things, & to mix modern, traditional, & retro/vintage together to achieve my own style.

Favorite Items

It's hard to choose...I like everything about this happy room. But my absolutely faves are: wall art, floor lamp, & the chair!

Advice

Start early, because I've changed my mind a few times... Don't be afraid to mix & match colors & patterns together. Go ahead & make bold statements with your own style... catalog nurseries are so boring.
